a partial way round this situation: 1 take out a contract 2 get a free phone 3 get it unlocked 4 sell it on fleabay as nearly new you won't get the same back as the phone is 'worth', but it can still be used to somewhat offest the cost of buying a freerunner i've never tried this, i have no idea how much unlocked phones go for. it may or may not be worth the effort to you _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
